Nuisance or not, you know that's the kind of lawsuits that are coming for Oculus and the other VR giants soon."</p>
<p>Because that's impossible. Why? </p>
<p>Because the effect as I described it causes you to be MORE CAUTIOUS about your envionment, until the effect wears off, not LESS. This should have been very clear.</p>sirhc deSantis commented on 'Matrix Effect Survey: Over 1 in 3 VR Users Experience Temporary Confusion Between What's Virtual & What's Real'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b8d1f603b4970c2016-06-11T17:12:53Z2016-06-11T17:12:53Zsirhc deSantisTo Ezra et al, I don't know Au and rather like the unhype slightly snarky take, but personally I will...<p>To Ezra et al, I don't know Au and rather like the unhype slightly snarky take, but personally I will think of getting one of these toys when a) something sparks my interest enough (probably would need to build something I expect as nothing except possibly SL has even piqued me a teeny bit) or b) one comes free in a box of Wheeties - so never, as I stopped buying prepack brekkie rubbish 20 years ago,<br />
But feel free to send me one gratis so I too can feel the Ber.... oops wrong context.

<p>What if, more true to Adeon's testament, people become more aware of their surroundings and home accidents go down because of VR usage?</p>Todd commented on 'Matrix Effect Survey: Over 1 in 3 VR Users Experience Temporary Confusion Between What's Virtual & What's Real'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c86bb88b970b2016-06-10T15:59:43Z2016-06-10T15:59:43ZToddAlthough I do agree with the above comments, I'm torn.

<p>I find this blog kinda fun in its "fox news" reporting on VR, and I do find myself coming back to see how VR won't work or how it will ultimately kill me.</p>
<p>Accurate. no, but still entertaining....and in the end, that's pretty much the purpose of any blog, regardless of how important you think it is.</p>
<p>So Wagner keep it up. VR needs a Rush Limbaugh to keep it honest :D</p>Tesla Miles commented on 'Matrix Effect Survey: Over 1 in 3 VR Users Experience Temporary Confusion Between What's Virtual & What's Real'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb090f1a17970d2016-06-10T11:28:57Z2016-06-10T11:28:57ZTesla Mileshttps://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/12753I also agree with Ezra.

<p>VR is here to stay like it or not. An executive at 20th Century Fox famously said that he did not think that television would ever catch on, how wrong he was.</p>
<p>Instead of looking foolish in a few years time, why not be brave and experience VR for yourself, and present an informed subjective opinion, rather than 'made up and sensationalist stuff'.</p>lol commented on 'Matrix Effect Survey: Over 1 in 3 VR Users Experience Temporary Confusion Between What's Virtual & What's Real'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01b7c86b7230970b2016-06-10T01:15:40Z2016-06-10T01:15:40ZlolI'm with Ezra on this<p>I'm with Ezra on this</p>Ezra commented on 'Matrix Effect Survey: Over 1 in 3 VR Users Experience Temporary Confusion Between What's Virtual & What's Real'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01bb090eec16970d2016-06-10T00:57:21Z2016-06-10T00:57:21ZEzraYou really should get a Vive or Rift so you can blog about all the new games and apps coming...<p>You really should get a Vive or Rift so you can blog about all the new games and apps coming out that thousands of VR users are actually experiencing on a daily basis instead of this made up and sensationalist stuff.</p>
<p>The Vive ships in 2-3 business days now. If this is your career, take it serious, own the hardware and blog about it properly.</p>
